I'm so sick of crappy creative software. Finally got the damn software installed... the basic drivers are good for most applications, but won't run EAX HD or Open AL. In one game, won't run EAX at all. So then I have to download the beta drivers that support open al. Now the open al games and...

i just got my new Asus A8N-E in the mail, all set up now. So far I like it. The only thing, though, i can't seem to adjust the cpu fan speed. Aren't any of the fanspeeds adjustable on this one??

time-warp computer update.... First I booted up my computer and the POST said it "check sum error" and reset the bios to factory default. I had the option to either enter setup or continue. Choosing to continue, windows was unable to load some basic system file. I can't recall clearly which one...

that makes sense. thanks.

check out my sweet copper heatsinks on my desklamp. maybe i can overclock it?

would love to learn linux can anyone recommend a good linux learning kit...like with a book, a cd with a good noob version of linux, etC?

pretty nice, man. We have the same speakers. Like the copper ram sinks, too. I tried to stick some copper sinks on my 7800gt, but it didn't work out. 7800 only has ram chips on the underside, and I couldn't find any frag tape strong enough to hold the damn heavy copper on! L A M E. Oh, you...

Yeah, I have (had) the latest bios update, but then again I'm sort of confused there because i can get bioses from either msi or from nvidia. I had both most recent revisions, but i installed the nvidia bios last. I really dont know if they write different parts of the bios, or if they're...

lol...thanks. I think I will. N

:cry: I'm just about positive my mobo is dead. MSI piece of crap. Can anyone recommend a good nforce4, AMD socket 939 mobo? I need three pci slots, 1 pci-e, and I have $100. I'm thinking of: Asus A8N-E w/ nforce ultra vs. Asus A8N5X Can you weigh between the two, or suggest others...

well, speedfan gives me several temps: cpu, system, acpi, and HD. I'm confident that the cpu temp is,in fact, the cpu, temp, i'm actually concerned about the temp of my northbridge. I got a zalman passive sink on it, but i think the contact is all screwed up because i had to slide it...

Sorry for a total asking a total noob question, but what is the "system temp?" is that the ambient temperature inside the case, or is that the northbridge temp? Something else? oh, also what is ACPI sensor temp? Thanks for taking a moment to answer my question.

careful...not all the companies measure the pixel transitions the same. Anand did a great report.

I still disagree. I had a dell 1905fp, which is considered to be a pretty good 19in lcd. Perhaps dell just sucks (though I doubt it), but compared to the 17inchers (i have a 1705 at work), the sharpness of text just isn't there. The 17incher just looks better in my opinion. I recommend going to...

i dont like the sound of that. I'm ordering some ceramique
